TEACHERS MEETING.
Some Interesting Remarks Made
Relative to Carrying on
This Years School.

At 9 o'clock yesterday morning a
meeting of the teachers of the Sedalia
schools was held at the Broadway
building for the purpose of complet-
ing arrangements for the term begin
ming tomorrow morning and also that
the board and teachers might meet
and become better acquainted with
one another in the interchange of
ideas relative to the proper execution
of the work involved. Superintend-
ent Richardson, called the meeting to
order and made among others, the fol-
lowing pointed remarks:
Teachers: 1t gives me a great
pleasure to welcome your faces back
to the school room. founded upon the
fact of your success in the past, and
allow me to say that l anticipate a
very happy year although one of
hard work for you all. We come to-
gether as class of people to do right
and let that be your black board motto.
but be sure you make the model and
not the critic. l might say that Or
der is heavens first law and that
cleanliness is next to Godliness"
but this you know and l trust you
will so act. The dictionary, l believe,
contains the words block head and
numb skull but / am averse
to these names being ap-
piled to any pupil. We must have
on at all times our Sunday garments,
that We may be in proper trim to re-
ceive visitors"
The speaker then introduced Mr..
Daily president of the board, who
stated 81 am very happy to
meet you this morning and
I feel the responsibility for
you to undertake the task of
teaching. Your scholars are watching
you and will initiate you and would
advise each teacher to set the proper
example to their pupils"
Attorney Fast was called upon and
he stated that in the matter of disci.
pline the board would lend any assist
ance to the teachers and felt it the
duty of the board to enforce discipline
in the proper manner.
Mr.. Mertz, treasurer of the board
made few remarks, but stated that
he had expended all his oratorical
ability in his endeavor to get the
teachers salary raised, "however,"
said he, "the board are willing to pay
teachers just what they are
worth" The superintendent then
asked the teachers to be prompt
in getting to the school
at morning and afternoon, and not to
larry after 4 o'clock without sufficient
cause, Quite a number of them were
examined during the day, preparatory
to active work tomorrow.
